  1. If you need fractions, try using fixed-point numbers (scaled integers). Can be fiddly to work with, but faster than floats.

  2. Arduino can do microsecond-level response times, Raspberry π cannot. That’s the difference between a full computer running a full OS, and a bare-bones one running just the code you compile for it and nothing more. Each has their uses.

  3. @VoidField101x The π Pico, with its programmable I/O channels, is purpose-built for that. There is a demonstration somewhere of it doing real-time emulation of the video interface on the old BBC Micro.
